At some point this will be my next mod. Took all this stuff off individually for the steering wheel, console, speedo, bolsters, etx. Don't have the ambition YET to pull everything off again...but it will happen!

Very ambitious and a great looking new dash.
Thanks for the pics with the dash out. Always wondered what was under there.
So it's fairly straight forward and not too difficult if you take your time?
I've already changed out my steering wheel and shifter, plus took out the complete interior (seats, carpet, and door panels).
So, I could probably do this?
I may have to tackle this some day but I'm going to take a break form modding and do more driving.

Looks fantastic, Bill. I'm curious - how long did the entire job take? I'm especially interested because I have an annoying rattle in the center of my dash that sounds like it's coming from just under the skin in the area of the center defrost outlet. (I've confirmed that it's not coming from the outlet itself.) I've tried to locate it myself but to no avail. It's at the point where I'm going to have to take it to a dealer to have them take it apart in order to try to pinpoint the source and correct it. Any idea how many labor hours I can look forward to being billed for? Thanks, Bill. I wish you lived closer to me - I'd try to talk you into letting me hire you to do the job!

Taking your time about 3 to 4 hrs to take it all out. Then about 2 to 3 to put it all back in. I'll see if I can do. A write up . It actually comes out easy in one piece . It is all the stuff you have to get out first. But basically remove wheel complete center console. Then yaw sensor and airbag computer in base of console. Then gauge cluster , then the a pillars inside moulding , center speaker in dash. Then lower glove box and 3 bolts under pass side to airbag. Then there is really only about 10 bolts and nuts total that hold it in.
